1) How much are American Indians expected to shed their cultural heritage to become a part of contemporary society? Do American Indians resist assimilation? How? Why? (Be specific, include a very detailed answer)
When discussing American Indians' heritage and assimilation you must discuss historical notions from this group within this country, as well as argue the reasons surrounding these notions. (Discuss treaties, Federal policies, AIM, NARF, and the BIA
2) It is estimated that sometime in the next few decades Whites will become a minority when demographically compared to the sum of all other minority groups combined.
One of the reasons for this change will be that Hispanic/Latinos will comprise about one-fourth of the U.S. population. Following this notion, how do Hispanics/Latinos view themselves (past, present, and future); and how are they viewed by others (past, present and future)?
Using your sociological imagination how do you anticipate this futuristic demographic change will affect Hispanic/Latino alliances with other minorities and Whites?
When answering Q#2 the first pointer is not to apply a sameness approach to this group. Make sure you discuss Central and South Americans, Mexicans, Chicanos, and Caribbean people within your answer (including Puerto Ricans and Cubans).
Your past, present, and future discussion will include shared issues, as well as any specific ones that you choose to present and discuss.
You will need to explore myths and stereotypes attached to this group and its different members plus you will need to think futuristically about racial relations for this group in near-future United States' society.
Read, follow, and apply your writing guidelines handout.
Please be explicit. Implicitly presenting information, using a source, or discussing a notion/concept can easily prove to be very counterproductive to your grade.
Make sure you apply critical thinking as much as you can. This means that you should include your personal insight.
Treat this assignment as a research paper and not as a take home exam. Formatting it as such is a critical component. (Please do not include a copy of the questions in your work nor should you enumerate your answers or present two separate papers).
